## What is Folio?

Turn your photos into a storybook that comes alive, and your videos into a vlog that moves to the beat. Every feature is free.

Folio turns a set of photos into a beautifully designed book. Pick a featured template, or let AI lay out your photos and write the words. Now you can also turn photos, videos and Live Photos into a vlog in one tap.

COMPLETELY FREE
· Every template, AI layout, photo effect, Live creation and HD export is free. No membership, no subscription

ONE-TAP VLOGS
· Pick photos, videos and Live Photos, choose a type: Daily Life, Travel & Explore, Food & Lifestyle or Sports & Action, and AI cuts a short film that moves to the beat of the music
· AI watches every clip and listens to every line to find the best moments, and never cuts a sentence or an action in half
· Meaningful conversations keep their original sound, with automatic subtitles you can tap to edit
· Opening titles and travel place cards are added for you; change the aspect ratio, subtitle style, music and cover, or tap Remix for a fresh cut
· Export up to 4K at 60 fps straight to Photos

FEATURED TEMPLATES: ADD YOUR PHOTOS AND IT'S YOUR BOOK
· Everyday Diary, Film Diary, Cozy Lifestyle, Art Photobook, Black & White, Experimental Zine, Travel Scrapbook, Y2K Collage and more, with new ones added often
· Flip through the whole book before you decide
· Template text is rewritten from your photos: dates and places fill in automatically, and short lines fit your moments
· Every template comes with its own music

AI LAYOUT
· Choose your photos and a style. Folio recognizes people, places, food and scenery, arranges them into a book with a natural rhythm, and writes titles and captions
· Travel, family, birthdays, couples and anniversaries, babies, pets, graduations and everyday life
· AI-written text in 18 languages

EDIT EVERY PAGE YOUR WAY
· Photos: filters, adjustments, subject cutout, place behind subject, 3D, polka dots, swap, dot screen, fluted glass, glitch and multi-photo frames
· Text: many fonts, text along a path, and letter-by-letter animations
· Stickers and drawing: a large sticker library, make stickers from any photo, glass and outline effects; drawings replay stroke by stroke
· Bring pages to life: Live Photos and Live components such as clocks, floating elements, typewriter, Bling, subject outline and orbit, plus group animations that bring several elements in together

LIVE CREATIONS
· Freely create animated pieces on a canvas, or start from an official Live template
· Handy tools: video to Live Photo, photos to Live Photo, and HD frame grabs, saved as Live Photos, live wallpapers, GIFs or videos
· Embed your Live creations on any page of a book

EXPORT AND SHARE
· Page-turning video set to music
· High-quality PDF for keeping and printing
· High-resolution images of a page or spread; animated pages are saved as Live Photos

PRIVACY
Photos in your books and Live creations are recognized on your phone and are never uploaded. For layout and writing, only a text summary is sent (date, place name, content tags).
When you use Video Edit, downsized key frames and the audio of parts where people speak are sent to our servers to pick clips and create subtitles, and are used only for that edit.
Your books, Live creations and videos are saved on your device.

### 1.8.4 — 2026-10-27

Read in portrait
· The button at the top right of the preview switches between landscape and portrait. Portrait still shows both pages side by side
· Your choice is remembered next time

Swipe back in portrait
· Swipe right from the left edge to go back — the book closes and flies back to the shelf with your finger
· Let go halfway and the book opens up again

Smoother between editor and preview

Pack an album, keep going on another phone
· Pack an album into a single file and send it with AirDrop or any messaging app — open it on another phone to keep editing
· Pack from the bookshelf or the editor’s More menu; import in Settings → Import Album. An imported album becomes a new book

A cover of its own
· The first page in the editor is now a separate cover. Change its layout, photos and text freely without affecting the spreads after it
· The bookshelf, page-turn animation and exported videos all use this cover

More photos with templates
· When making a book from a template, you can pick more photos than the template holds (up to 3×)
· Extra photos are laid out on new photo pages, without repeating any

New photo effect: Fluted Glass
· Look at your photo through ribbed glass — find it under the photo’s Effect menu
· Adjust direction, number of ribs, refraction, smear and highlights. Cover only the background so people stay in front of the glass, or cover just part of the photo
· Live options: the glass slides across, turns from clear to glass, or from glass to clear

More cinematic Cinema filters
· The 5 filters in Cinema have been regraded: warmer skin, teal backgrounds and shadows, stronger contrast
· Bright lights get a soft warm glow, and the corners are gently darkened

Nicer share images
· Change the background of your share images: the album background, a solid color, our background library, or a photo of your own
· When exporting spreads, the first share image is an overview of the first 6 spreads — the whole book at a glance

Small fixes
